Engaging in the Socratic Method

Written by Kaitlin Updated over a week ago

We strongly encourage students to answer questions and engage in dialogue.

At Flatiron School, we believe in the Socratic method for answering questions. In essence, lead each other to answers, don’t give away answers. Telling another student what to change in a line of code might be helpful to pass one lab, but the student will have missed out on learning a core concept. At times, it can be frustrating to engage in this type of conversation, but trust us, this will aid you in learning to code.
